Emotional Rollercoaster: Team India's 40-run win over Hong Kong was not without its drama, especially keeping the selection for the upcoming T20 World Cup ...

His final ball of the spell was a dot ball to Kohli. All in a day’s work for one of the premier all-format all-rounders in contemporary cricket. [Ravindra Jadeja](https://indianexpress.com/about/ravindra-jadeja/) to turn an adverse situation his team’s way, be it with bat, ball or in the field. Most of his balls in the over were darted at the shoelaces. In his spell he tied the Indians in knots. As a Rahul six sailed in the stands, the ball landed into the hands of two youngmen. In his third over, the 17th of the innings, he gave away just 4 runs. Finally, Rahul seemed to have judged the pace of the pitch and the frustratingly slow Hong Kong bowlers right. On the third ball KL Rahul makes a sweet connection, it’s a graceful effortless strike to the cow’s corner. As the ball landed outside the pitch, it was deemed a no-ball. Instead, he whipped out his phone, took a selfie with the ball prominently in the frame, before urged by the people around him, he finally relented to get the ball back in play. So wide that the ball eluded the keeper, the first slip and crash-landed at the second slip.

Time Running Out for 'Short of Confidence' KL Rahul After a Scrappy ... (News18)

In the third ODI, he again opened with Shikhar Dhawan, scoring 30 but those were not the fluent 30 runs he has scored. His shaky knock came from 46 deliveries ...

The manner in which Yadav batted, scoring fluently all around the wicket for his 26-ball 68 not out, seemed as if he batted on a pitch that was different from what Rahul played on. The manner in which Yadav batted, he was in such a belligerent form that eventually made up for the deliveries wasted by Rahul. India cannot afford to have Rahul play slowly in the name of batting till the end. On the other hand, Rahul was looking to perfect his defence, thereby the runs were almost at a standstill. But the manner in which he scored those runs was painstaking, dead slow by T20 standards and certainly not the type that Rahul is known to play. However, Rahul was so cautious even against the ordinary Hong Kong bowlers that mounted pressure on Rohit at the other end to accelerate. He may well blame it on the pitch and term it as slow that curbed his shot-making abilities. Only Rahul struggled on the surface and took time to settle down against Hong Kong, scoring at a slow pace that put the other batsmen under pressure. Rahul was afraid to dance down the track and unsettle the Hong Kong spinners. Short on confidence, Rahul fell to a first-ball duck against Pakistan in the Asia Cup opener, chopping young Naseem Shah onto his stumps while attempting a horizontal shot. But that was not to be as he lasted only five deliveries. In the second ODI against Zimbabwe last month, KL Rahul fell for just one run while opening the batting.
